About this wine
DOUBLE 92 POINTS! And only $11! The most STUNNING Zinfandel deal is BACK — and don’t run, certainly don’t walk — you gotta DASHE for this Zinfandel! ZIN for da WIN!! We love it! The hordes of you that scored this EPIC deal a few months back love it! So guess what we did?! Back…in…STOCK! The PERFECT drink me young, drink me often, can’t-resist-the-twist-top, HYPER-CRUSHABLE bottle of Cali-Zin deliciousness! Fantastic, utterly ROCKING, thrilling, juicy, powerful wine that just screams…let’s PARTY! And the PRICE! Dashe is a bit of a cult favorite in hardcore Zin circles, so we’re stoked to have grabbed a few cases to offer you at our insanely pound-the-table excellent price! Michael Dashe has an impressive resume — stints at Far Niente, and Lafite Rothschild (wow!) — and perhaps most importantly for today’s wine — he was THE MAN directly under Paul Draper at RIDGE in charge of their Zin-heavy Lytton Springs project! So yeah, even if he hadn’t been directly responsible for nearly three decades of KILLER Dashe Zinfandel — his CV checks out like me during the safety lectures at Disneyland. His own project reflects the finesse and power we love about well-made old-vine Zin — especially when you can snag it for just ELEVEN DOLLARS!! Juicy and flinty, with sweetart piquantness, and tons of blackberries, red currants, cherries, strawberries, and red licorice whips, all with this salty, iron-loaded, spicebox note that carries this into a zippy and tingly finish. It overdelivers on basically every conceivable level — making this a HUGE no-brainer of the highest level!! Double 92 POINTS at this sort of price??? Whatcha waiting for…just get it!! Not NEARLY as much as before…get it while it lasts!
